Not sure why they have a Tier 1 of level 23, since they don't actually have any elite salvage fleets out there, perhaps it is for a future expansion. For now what this means, level 29 and 37 elites = Tier 2, 45+ = Tier 3 (Hope this clears it up)

So not a ton of new info there except maybe the Blue Print stuff. First time I'd seen anything on it.
